Your Itinerary

  • 1) Day 1: Private Journey from Marsa Alam to Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae Temples

    Your day gets underway at 5:00 AM with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam. A private vehicle carries you to Edfu, home to the impressive Temple of Horus. Built in the Ptolemaic era around 246 BC and remarkably well preserved, this site honors the hawk-god Horus. Look closely at the detailed wall carvings that recount the legendary clash between Horus and Seth, thought to have been reenacted annually as a religious drama.

    From there, the journey continues to Kom Ombo, 40 km north of Aswan. This distinctive temple pays tribute to both the crocodile god Sobek and Horus, dating from the Ptolemaic and Roman eras (332 BC - 395 AD), and offers real insight into how ancient Egyptians practiced their faith.

    The route then leads on to Aswan, where the breathtaking Philae Temple awaits, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Work on it began around 690 BC, making it one of the final temples raised in the classical Egyptian tradition while worship of the goddess was still active.

    Following a day rich in history and discovery, you'll spend the night at the Basma Hotel in Aswan.

    Come and experience Egypt's remarkable cultural heritage on this memorable journey!

  • 2) Day 2 - Discovering Grand Temples: Abu Simbel and Aswan Day Trip from Marsa Alam

    Set out on a memorable trip from Marsa Alam to the awe-inspiring temples of Abu Simbel, delivered as a fully inclusive package tailored to families, students, and groups alike. An early 4:00 AM pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle keeps you comfortable across the 3-hour drive. Reaching the site ahead of the midday heat, you'll be met by a skilled Egyptologist ready to reveal the stories woven into these legendary monuments.

    Stand before the Great Temple of Ramesses II, hewn from the mountainside in the 13th century BC, and admire its striking façade lined with four colossal statues of the pharaoh. Though officially dedicated to Amon-Re Horakhty and Ptah, the temple's real purpose is to glorify Ramses the Great himself. From there, visit the smaller temple built for Queen Nefertari, showcasing beautifully carved reliefs of the royal pair.

    Once the temple visit concludes, you'll head back to Aswan to see the Aswan High Dam-an extraordinary feat of engineering finished in 1971-along with the Unfinished Obelisk, a testament to Aswan's role as a source of prized ancient granite.

    This trip delivers far more than sightseeing; it's built around comfort and relaxation too, leaving you refreshed by the end. What's more, we're happy to extend a 20% discount to students, families, and groups, making the experience even more accessible.

    Seize the opportunity to explore the enduring treasures of Aswan and Abu Simbel-reserve your all-inclusive trip today and create memories to last a lifetime!

Frequently Asked Questions

The package covers private air-conditioned transfers for the whole trip, one night's hotel stay in Aswan with breakfast, entry tickets for every site (Philae Temple, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel, High Dam), a professional guide, lunch on each day, and drinking water.

Your hotel pickup in Marsa Alam happens at 5:00 AM on Day 1. From there, the private vehicle passes through the Edfu and Kom Ombo temples before arriving in Aswan, where you'll see Philae Temple and the High Dam that same afternoon.

Abu Simbel is visited on Day 2, beginning with a pre-dawn departure from Aswan. Leaving this early (usually around 3:00-4:00 AM) means you arrive before both the midday heat and the crowds, letting you enjoy the temples at their best.

Expect some walking over uneven surfaces at the temple sites, plus a short boat crossing to Philae Island. Most travelers find this comfortable, though anyone facing significant mobility challenges should let us know beforehand so we can plan accordingly.
